Source ingredient cues

These cues were extracted from the historical method for discovery. Use the complete source method and citation alongside them.

  • Let each person sweeten his portion for himself, after which they should be eaten immediately, before the sugar has time to draw out the juice and thereby wither the berries.
  • Choose the finest fruit for this meal, using the stem as a handle, and dipping the berry into powdered sugar, if not sweet enough to be eaten without.
